Angus Breedplan Moves to Fortnightly Analyses

The move is part of Angus Australia’s commitment to provide world leading genetic evaluation services to the Angus breeders in Australia, and will result in considerably reduced turn-around times between the submission of performance data and the availability of updated EBVs.
The submission deadlines for inclusion in the Angus BREEDPLAN analyses during 2017 are outlined in Table 1.
To cover the associated increases in ABRI costs of fortnightly analyses, the annual BREEDPLAN enrolment fee will increase from A$165 (inc GST) to A$195 (inc GST). All other fees and charges for Angus BREEDPLAN will remain unchanged.
